This paper argues that these da‘wah activities constitute the searches of most suitable Indonesian Islamic principles that inevitably include the negotiation of Islamic, global, and local values. This paper shows examples of various international and Indonesian Islamic scholars and leaders who change social, political, and religious rhetorical landscape through various arguments involving especially Islamic and modern-international values. Based on literature reviews and observations on local Javanese da‘wah activities, this paper contends that in addition to Muslims’ exposure to modern global principles such as democracy and human rights, the increasing popularity and resilience of local-traditional rituals, performances, and expressions in Indonesian da‘wah have significantly shaped the search of the Indonesian Islamic noble values.engWith permission of the license/copyright holdernoble valueslocal-traditional ritualsmodernityIslamda‘waCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsPhilosophical ethicsCommunity ethicsEthnicity and ethicsJournal volume
